496 Chevy with Hilborne, I like the idea, better bottom end than Ford, rev like sh*t!!!!!!!

Doing a Ford SB 393 these engines seem to still develop around 500ftLbs etc, and they look original but cost a lot with good interneal hardware.

One other way of looking at engines is the later crop of computerised management engines developing around 400-450bhp with some minor modifications, surely this would be a better option compared to spending another $15k to get 500bhp from a purpose built stroker, and still having some economy - as a bonus?
